Excited State Polarization Altering Optical Filter
US Patent:
5721632, Feb 24, 1998
Filed:
Aug 30, 1995
Appl. No.:
8/521195
Inventors:
Richard I. Billmers - Bensalem PA
Martin F. Squicciarini - Lansdale PA
Swapan K. Gayen - Marlboro NJ

Assignee:
The United States of America as represented by the Secretary of the Navy - Washington DC
International Classification:
G02F 103
US Classification:
359252
Abstract:
An excited state polarization altering optical filter includes a vapor cell having a population of electrons with a plurality of energy levels that receive light and transmit light according to the received light. A first pulsed dye laser applies a beam of light by way of a circular polarizer to provide a first beam of light having a first polarization to the vapor cell. The first beam of light causes transitions of the electrons from one energy level to another energy level. A second pulsed dye laser applies a second beam of light with a second, differing, linear polarization to the vapor cell. The vapor cell differentially transmits the first and second beams of light in accordance with the differing polarizations. A delay path is provided for delaying the second beam of light before the second beam of light is applied to the vapor cell. The delay path is tuned by adjusting the length.
Actively Pumped Faraday Optical Filter
US Patent:

International Classification:
G02F 103
US Classification:
359244
Abstract:
An actively pumped optical filter includes a vapor cell having a population of electrons with the plurality of energy levels which receives light and transmits light according to a pumping mechanism. A magnetic source is provided for applying a magnetic field to the vapor cell. A first pulsed dye laser applies a first beam of light to the vapor cell causing transitions of the electrons from a first energy level to a second energy level. A second pulsed dye laser is used for measuring the transmission through the vapor cell. A third laser applies a beam of light to the first laser and a beam of light to the second laser. The third laser may be an Nd:YAG laser. Polarizers are disposed before and after the vapor cell and a delay path is provided for delaying the second beam of light before the second beam of light is applied to the laser cell. The delay path is tuned by adjusting the length.
